Definition of swing shift: The second shift, or swing shift, starts when first shift ends, which is usually around 4 p.m., and it ends around midnight.

My swing shifts were 1500 to 2300, back in the day.

That was the drinking shift. Bars were open till 2:00.

I was a bad boy on that shift.

Midnights, from 2300 to 0700, were for nightwalkers, a whole different species, and where I spent most of my life.

Day monkeys worked 0700 to 1500. That was for the asskissers, desk jockeys, and political animals. I did poorly on that shift, the short time I spent there.

Just sayin'.
